An alternative to AMBE+2 DMR / dPMR vocoder, provides highest speech quality, when a voice is more natural, clear and is free of any synthesizing sounds.
Can be used in DMR (ETSI TS 102 361) and dPMR (ETSI TS 102 658) radios as alternative vocoder (instead AMBE+2 vocoder) or as additional vocoder to provide in newest radios main superior mode, providing more high-quality voice communication, keeping simultaneously interoperability with old radios (AMBE+2 based ones).

Superiority of the TWELP DMR vocoder is on average 0.251 PESQ ! | |||
Now anyone who would like to use or just to try TWELP vocoder, without paying the cost of a license for large quantities, can order our vocoder as a hardware mini-module based on STM32F chip.
Good news for all customers who use CMX7262 chip
Now you can buy a license for the updated TWELP vocoder, interoperable with the vocoder used in CMX7262 chip, as an object library for any target platform even for a small quantity of installations!
The updated vocoder provides much better speech quality (improved up to 0.1 PESQ!) in comparison with the one used in the chip, but is completely interoperable with it in both directions.
Please send your requests to request@dspini.com to get a detailed information and prices.
